James and Lydia are pet owners/lovers and are ideal pet sitters. I keep chickens and have a dog (Henry), who is a very important part of my life. I travel frequently and Lydia has watched Henry for me multiple times for up to a week and I trust her completely with his care. As a border collie mix, he is a high energy dog and requires extra time for exercise. As a dog lover, Lydia takes the time to make sure he is properly cared for, and he is always so happy to see her. Both Lydia and James also take care of my chickens while I am away. They make sure the chickens have fresh water and food, and pick the eggs. Knowing Lydia and James are around to take care of my chickens and Henry gives me immense peace of mind while traveling knowing I can trust them completely.
